FAITH IN CHRISTIAN DOC- ~ TRIBES. By TeJepraph.— Press Association.-- Copyright. (Received February. 20, 8.30 a.m.) LONDON, 27th February. Twenty chairmen of tho Congregationa' Union or heads of colleges have signet! a manifesto to tho churches af. iirming their faith in Christian doc trinos, though welcoming the progress of ovangclieal theology. The Rev. R. J. Camobell, of New Theology fame, replying in the City Temple, said that this attempt to allay theological unrost would prove as futile as tho Papal Encyclical against Modernists. Mr. Campbell's theology rejects many points of the oldor theology, such as the Fall, Original Bin, and Judgment after Doatli. Ho accepts others, sucn as the person of Christ and the Atonement, but lie Kjyrs to them a new interpretation, maintaining th,ai the' Divino olemont in (xod is simile to the divino element in mil-solves, and that its uniquen^ss consists solely in tho fact of its perfect manifestations. The New Theology was received with a storm of disapproval, but Mr. Campbell's friends letaliated by forming a ow Theology Union and beginning an active propaganda.
